Here we go again...

...it's been awhile, but here's an easy one to start up with:

Flying Hurricane Mk I - P33975 the pilot got his first two kills 2. and 3. September.
By the end of the month, the pilot had 17 destroyed and one probable to his credit.
Who's the pilot?

Before the war this Battle of Britain pilot sang in a choir in front of Il Duce. And used paperclippings with his picture as toiletpaper.

What's the name of the pilot?;)

Battle of Britain. August 8th. Nursing his shot up Spitfire in to land.
Cockpit filled with smoke....at 500 feet he puts down wheels and flaps and turns in to land.
At 400 feet the long-suffering engine catches fire and it rapidly spreads to the cockpit. To low to baile out, the pilot lands the Spitfire and jumps out of it at 45 m.p.h.

Who was the pilot?

It has to be P/O C.A. Bodie then Soren. He is mentioned a few times in one of 'Dizzy' Allen's books. He sadly did not survive the war.

Some for your good self......... Why was HR Allen nicknamed Dizzy?
And why was Donald Stone nicknamed Dimsie?

You are so right!:eusa_clap

Well - according to "Ten Fighter Boys" Allen got his nickname "Dizzy" because of his behaviour, which was "fun, games and schoolboy pranks"

"Dimsie"? Haven't got a clue!
